So the greatest common factor 46,78,989 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,869,672
2 | 82, 869, 672 |
41, 869, 336 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 869 x 336 = 23942688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23942688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/82,78/869,989/672 is 1/23942688
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 82,869,672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,869,672) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(82,869,672) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(82,869,672) = ( 82 × 869 × 672 ) / 2
LCM(82,869,672) = 47885376 / 2
LCM(82,869,672) = 23942688
